We asked you: Has SunRail's rocky rollout soured you on its future?

Friday Back Talk

YES 32% NO 68%

If we were talking about it now after two years of regular SunRail operations, maybe, but it's only been two weeks. I'll withhold judgment for a while.

Hassle makes point moot

Like the vast majority of people who live in Central Florida, I don't live or work within walking distance of the train stations, and since I don't plan on waking up any earlier in the day to take a multi-leg commute to work, I won't be riding the train on a regular basis, one way or another.

Just working out bugs

In anything that is new, and concerns so many different people, there is going to be an adjustment period for SunRail, in general. It will, however, be of the utmost importance to get timing correct, as folks will not use the train if they are going to be late for work.

Conducive times needed

I would love to ride on SunRail, but most people that work in downtown Orlando are upset that the schedule is inconvenient. You can take SunRail downtown and arrive at 6:30 a.m. or earlier, and the first train out of downtown is 4:30 p.m. That is too late. Most people work eight hour days. If it left an hour earlier, ridership would increase 25 percent from downtown Orlando.

Free riders glitched works

The issue right now is all the lookie-loos who are joy riding during the free period. We have no idea what the real traffic is going to be once people have to pay. That being said, [SunRail officials] probably should run it every 30 minutes all day long. Hopefully they at least make that change.

Lynx riders set to pounce

I would expect 8,000 riders daily, rather than 4,300. Lots of LYNX bus riders are willing to ride SunRail, rather than taking a slow-moving bus to their destinations. Make the math, FDOT. You won't regret it.

Payers will gripe even more

These complaints are from riders who are not paying. Wait until people have to pay to ride.
